OK I have been scratching my head as to why this time round I am having so much trouble getting Hasing going from 200MHz upwards. So I thought of a difference from last time which is that i did all of the tests on the Bitmain Antrouter special Pool. Have just done a couple of very quick tests and immediatly everything is ok. Starts up straight away and running at 350MHz at the moment.
If anyone has any ideas why this might be that would be great?

Hi Rich,
yes, I see you´re on da right track !
All the time I was most worry about optimal cooling, best Vcore , and most stable power supply and so on...
But the thing is, when I moved the pool for testing (changed from de.ckpool.org to startum.antpool.com, it tries to start working nearly perfect!!
@400 MHz more than 5 minutes works w/o probs and slower Rates even more runs well...
So I think we have to seek out, where is the major prob with our R1 Upgrade and ckpool....

That is great news Andy. I wondered if it was just me? I have also now run tests on Nicehash and F2pool and on both I get immediate start up and hashing at any frequency. I have been as high as 425MHz with no problems.
So there is some sort of incompatibility between the R1 an solo on ckpool? Even at the lower frequencies, less than 200Mhz, things just get going much faster on the other pools.
So do not know if there is something we can change on the R1 setup or if it's just some incompatibility that we can do nothinmg about, but at least we now have something to work on and I can rest easy on what has changed from last time I was winding the frequency up.
